When the brain is under pressure, certain neural signals begin to move in sync—much like a well-rehearsed orchestra. A new study from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is the first to show how flexibly this neural synchrony adjusts to different situations and that this dynamic coordination is closely linked to cognitive abilities.
Living in zero gravity can lead to periodontitis, a common and serious condition where the gums become inflamed and the bone that supports teeth starts to break down, eventually leading to tooth loss, scientists reveal in a new study.
Washington state reported 25 times as many whooping cough cases last year as the year before, according to new data that serve as a reminder of the disease's continued surge here and nationwide.
It's been long established that our working memory, which allows us to temporarily hold and use information, such as remembering a phone number or a shopping list, is largely driven by the brain's prefrontal cortex. However, new research finds that the part of the brain used in visual processing plays a much more critical role in working memory than previously thought.
A new study offers insight into the health and lifestyle indicators—including diet, physical activity and weight—that align most closely with healthy brain function across the lifespan. The study used machine learning to determine which variables best predicted a person's ability to quickly complete a task without becoming distracted.
Many parents are surprised to learn that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and struggles with bladder control, or toileting issues, often go hand-in-hand.
As super-contagious measles continues to spread and nears a six-year U.S. record, cases in its original epicenter of West Texas may be subsiding as hesitant residents become more concerned and willing to vaccinate, while North Dakota is a new focus with the highest rate of any state.
Researchers from NeuRA and UNSW Sydney have launched a new app aimed at boosting the well-being and resilience of adults. This innovative mobile application, called ReNeuWell, shifts the focus from managing distress to actively promoting mental flourishing, offering a neuroscience-backed, personalized approach to mental health.
Despite an increase in the prevalence of prescribing, only 0.5% of U.S. adolescents with obesity were prescribed an obesity medication in 2023, according to research published in the June 5 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Researchers at Northeastern University have identified two proteins abundant on drug-resistant ovarian cancer cells that become receptive to chemotherapy when treated with light.
The immune system is the body's protector. Following the detection of a potential threat, such as a bacterial or viral infection, a healthy immune system will attack the foreign invader. What many people don't realize is that our brains have their own unique immune system, made up of cells called microglia that play an essential role in maintaining brain function.
Medical crash carts—stocked with medications, syringes, gauze, and IV fluids—are essential tools in emergency rooms, where seconds matter, space is tight, and confusion can cost lives. However, despite their importance, crash carts vary widely in layout between hospitals and departments. In high-stress situations, this inconsistency can lead to delays as providers search for supplies or open the wrong drawers.
A survey commissioned by The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center—Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC—James) focused on Americans' perceptions of testicular cancer. The results suggest more can be done to educate the public about the disease, which affects nearly 10,000 adults in the United States each year, according to the American Cancer Society.
Various reports have linked loneliness to premature death, with some—including the U.S. Surgeon General—suggesting that loneliness is as harmful to one's health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Parents' visions of family vacation time may not always match what their teens have in mind.
In cancer care, accurate tools for predicting whether a tumor will spread (metastasize) can help patients receive the most appropriate treatments. But existing prediction methods don't always work equally well for everyone. In particular, Black patients with breast or colon cancer often experience worse outcomes than white patients, despite receiving similar care.
New results from a clinical trial reveal that a single dose of psilocybin—a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in mushrooms—can provide sustained reductions in depression and anxiety in individuals with cancer suffering from major depressive disorder. The findings are published in Cancer.
Homelessness is increasing in pregnant and parenting people in Canada, posing health risks to children. Authors of a commentary in the Canadian Medical Association Journal argue it is a health crisis that needs urgent attention.
Canada can learn from England's successful diabetes prevention program to build its own programs to tackle diabetes prevention across the country, argue the authors in an analysis in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
